Ch 4: Archery of Romance!


Shinn's activity groups were having archery. Oh yay. Everyone was happy, of course. Archery was fun. Shinn, however, did not think so.

You see, Shinn had HORRIBLE aim.

"Hi everyone! My name is Bonnie and I will be your archery instructor!" People whispered and stared. Bonnie, you see, was very, very pretty. "So lets get your bows and arrows!" People scrambled to get them, and after a few minutes, there were three groups of four:

Group One: Mayu, Stellar, Shinn, Rey

Group Two: Auel, Sting, Monique, Lunamaria

Group Three: Youlan, Vino, Angeline, Marie

"Hey, Lunamaria," whispered Auel as Bonnie talked about how dangerous it was to point your arrow at someone, "That sister of yours is HOT. I'll give you five bucks if you set me up with her."

Lunamaria pouted. "I don't think so," she snapped.

"What, jealous?" Auel said slyly. "Don't worry. There's enough of me for both of you!"

10 minutes later…

"Ugh…" said Auel. "It…hurts…"

"Whoa there," yelled Bonnie, "I'll take you to first aid! What happened? You look beaten up pretty bad!" Bonnie took Auel's arm and led him away. Sting looked indignantly at Lunamaria.

"You could have at least warned him." He said.

"Hmph." She replied, but her frown quickly turned into a surprised expression as an arrow whizzed an inch from her cheek.

And it wouldn't have even been an inch if Shinn had not pulled her away.

"W-what was that?" she stammered. "Someone just tried to kill me!"

"Are you okay?" Shinn asked.

"Yeah…sure…" she shakily replied. "But who-"

Lunamaria was cut off by a sharp cry. Shinn jerked around sharply, dread on his face.

"Stellar!"

Apparently, an arrow had shot Stellar on her shoulder and she was bleeding. Blood trickled down her shoulder and onto her lavender skirt. Obviously, the wound was serious. Shinn ran to her and shouted at Sting to get some bandages. He ran to the first aid box near the archery targets.

"Stellar, are you alright?" Shinn asked desperately as he applied pressure to the wound. Stellar mumbled something that sounded close to "I'm okay." Blood seeped through the first layer of bandages, so he had to add another layer. After a while the bleeding stopped, so Shinn picked her up and ran towards the main cabins, where the teachers probably were. Mayu, Rey, and Lunamaria ran with him.


"Ms. Ramius? Mr. La Flaga?" The four teens ran into separate rooms, trying to find their teachers.

"What is it? Shouldn't you children be in archery?" Aisha said as she came out.

"Miss Aisha! Stellar! She's-She's-"

"What?" Aisha asked, but saw Stellar's bandaged arm. "Oh, dear, oh my! Andy! Andy!"

Mr.Bartfeld skidded out of a room. "What's the matter, Aisha?"

"Look at her!" Aisha pointed. Andy gasped. "What happened? Are Stellar's parents scary? Tell me!" he practically yelled at Shinn.

"N-no, she doesn't have parents! S-she lives in an orphanage…" He replied.

Andy sighed, relieved. "Oh thank god. So what happened again?"

"Stellar-"

"She got hit with an arrow on her elbow we didn't see what happened because Shinn was saving me from another evil arrow and other people might be hurt right now are there barbarians and cannibals living in there forests!" Lunamaria explained, out of breath.

"The teachers should go and investigate the area." Rey said quietly. "Other people might get hurt."

"That's true," said a panicky Aisha, "I'll call Murrue and Mwu, Andy. Tend to this girl."

Mayu just stared at Stellar, and she looked pretty freaked out. "Hmm…!" she moaned.

"What's the matter?" asked Rey. "Shinn, something's wrong with Mayu!"

Shinn looked over and groaned. "Oh man, I forgot!"

"What? What's wrong with her?" Lunamaria asked.

"Mayu has a fear of blood, whenever she sees a large amount of it, she totally goes hysterical!" said Shinn, going rather hysterical himself.

"…Calm down Shinn, I'll take care of her." Rey said, walking towards Mayu. He put one arm around her waist, blocked her eyes, and took her into a room.

"She's in good hands, Shinn. Rey is a very good therapist." Lunamaria said as Rey shut the door. Shinn nodded.

"Yes, I know. He never talks, so he just listens, and that's good." And then he went hysterical again. "I forgot about Stellar! Aghhh! Stellar! I'll protect you!" he said, and ran off towards where Andy and Aisha had taken her. Lunamaria sighed in annoyance.

"I'd like a guy too!" she said to the air.


"Stellar? Stellar? Are you alright?" Shinn asked frantically when she opened her eyes. The teachers had long gone. It was freebies time, but it wasn't really because you were forced out of your cabins to swim or draw wildlife or do all kinds of shXX that teachers thought were roots of fond memories. Shinn was allowed to stay because he was Stellar's "special friend." Or that's what Miriallia said to convince the teachers.

"Don't worry Shinn, I'm fine," Stellar said weakly.

"Do you need anything? I'll bring your pajamas for you. And everything else. Don't worry!" Shinn zoomed out before Stellar could say anything.

"He really is quite kind…" Stellar said to herself.


Meanwhile, in the woods…

"Lacus…"

"Yes Kira?"

"I'm really sorry but – I think we're lost!" he said.

Lacus smiled. "Don't worry Kira, I knew that already." They were having a rather hard time getting through the so-called trail, with branches sticking out and Lacus weighing Kira down. "I'm so sorry to be such a burden."

"No Lacus, this is all my fault! I'll get us out somehow!" he said.

He's so cute and heroic… Lacus thought.

A chirping noise came out of nowhere. The two looked up to see a mechanical - looking bird tweeting at them. It jumped from branch to branch.

"I – I think it's telling us to follow it!" Kira said.

"Wow," said Lacus, "I thought that only happened in storybooks!"

But nevertheless, Lacus and Kira kept following the little green bird and found themselves in the kayaking and canoeing site. They were right in time to hear a familiar voice scream "ATHRUN ZALAAAAA!"

"Athrun?"

"Cagalli?"

"WE'RE NOT LOST ANYMORE! THANKS LITTLE GREEN BIRD!" They looked over to the creature, but it went to the soaked Athrun and started chirping its little head off.

"Torii?" Athrun said, amazed. "TORII?"

"You know this bird, Athrun?" asked Kira. He and Lacus both tilted their heads sideways. It looked cute. So cute, in fact, that Cagalli, who was just as soaking wet as Athrun and had just came out from the lake, got a camera from nowhere and snapped a picture of them.

"Of course I know this bird, I made it when I was ten as my science project!"

"The science project that was on my birthday?"

"Yeah! But it flew away so I got an F on the project and a "Hmph" from you!"

Cagalli just looked from Athrun to Kira, Athrun to Kira. "It's a small world." She said.

Athrun handed Torii to Kira. "Here's your tenth birthday present," he said.

Kira looked touched. "Thanks, buddy."

"Time to get to the campfire, everyone!" Murrue said. People started heading back, probably to change out of the awful camp t-shirts.


"Now, where can her stuff be?" Shinn mumbled to himself, quite nervous at being in the girl's dorm. "Come on, come on, you can do it!"

"Hey! Mayu? Are you there? I forgot my towel! Could you please – " A dripping Lunamaria stuck her head out of the dorm's bathroom. "Mayu?"

Shinn freaked. Lunamaria was dripping and NAKED. "Ididn'tseeanything!" He dove down to the floor and curled into a ball. Then he sprung out and ran. "I'm sorrrryyyy!" he yelled. It echoed down…the hallway…and into Lunamaria's auditory canal…eardrum…hammer…anvil…stirrup…cochlea…auditory nerve…and finally, into her brain.

"EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!" she screamed and ran back in the bathroom.


The campfire was to be attended by everyone, since it was supposed to be "a before-bedtime gathering." The group, Kira, Athrun, Cagalli, Lacus, Shinn, Lunamaria, Nicol, Ezra, Dearka, Miriallia, Yzak, and Shiho sat together, mainly for their own reasons.

Surely Yuuna/Mia can't find me in this mass of people, thought Cagalli and Athrun.

I'll sit next to Kira and pretend I'm only doing it by coincidence. We're in the same group, after all. Thought Lacus.

I just sat here and everyone followed me… Thought Yzak and Shiho.

What a nice way to sit in a group, Thought Nicol and Ezra.

Just because I'm sitting with my friend's group doesn't mean Dearka can flirt with me! Thought Miriallia.

I hope I can nonchalantly manage to sit next to Miriallia, Thought Dearka.

I hope Stellar is okay, Thought Shinn.

I hope Meyrin will see me around all these boys and be jealous. Thought Lunamaria.

Kira didn't really think about anything. He was too busy playing with his new pet.

"Here Torii! Good bird, good bird!" he yelled as the green thing fluttered and jumped over and on people's heads. Some of them were so annoyed they tried to catch it and crush it, but they never could.

And Fllay was annoyed by the bird for a different reason. "It's taking all of Kira's attention away from me…" she growled, "That bird has to go!"

While Fllay was planning her evil schemes again, Kira sat back down in his seat between Athrun and Lacus with Torii in his hands. Bonnie announced that the campfire was going to start soon. The rest of the students came to the fire and sat on the logs positioned into a large circle. Cagalli, Athrun, Kira, Lacus, and Shinn sat on one log. Lunamaria, Nicol, Ezra, Yzak, Shiho, Miriallia, and Dearka sat on the log beside it.. Shinn made sure to leave three spaces on his log for Stellar, Mayu, and Rey, who were still absent.

"Time to start the campfire!" yelled Josh. "Scary stories first. Anyone want to contribute?"

"Oh! Me! Me! Pick me!" said Auel. Sarah, another camp leader picked him to go up, since he was the only one who volunteered. Auel stood up, winked at Meyrin's direction (which horrified Lunamaria), and started his story in a ghastly voice. Sting made weird howling ghost noises.

"This story is called, I Used to Be," started Auel, "Once upon a time there was a boy who loved to go on chatting sites. One day, someone invited him to a private chat…

'hi' typed the boy.

'Hi' typed the other guy,

…And they became such good friends they told each other their addresses…

'That's the same block as mine!'

'Really?'

'Come over.'

'Okay!'

'Say, are you pretty?'

'Well, I used to. Then I got into a car accident and my face got scarred severely.'

'I still want to see you. Come quick.'

…And the other person wrote…

'I'm already here.'

…So he looked down and saw…

…A squashed up face with cut marks and protruding metal pieces that lay bloody and gruesome right at his feet.

"The End!"

Everyone groaned. Leave it to Auel to make up a gruesome story to ruin a campfire.

"That story was pretty gross, wasn't it, Lacus?" asked Kira, looking down at Lacus, who seemed very weary. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she replied, "Just really weak, that's all. I got pretty worn out at the beach, when we got lost and all." She leaned her head down on Kira's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. Cagalli took another picture.

"Nya ha ha ha…" she said. Athrun saw her and asked,

"Why are you so obsessed with Kira's love life?"

"Because I don't have my own," Cagalli said, as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.

"Really? No love life?" Athrun said. A pretty girl like you?

"Of course not. What do you think?" she snapped as she took another picture of Kira, now carrying Lacus to their cabin.


Late at night, everyone in the girl's room of the co-ed cabin was asleep. Everyone, that is, except for the lovely pink-haired teenager who was scribbling rapidly on her bunk bed, the big flashlight doing its job right beside her. No one knew this, but Lacus's hobby before bed was writing romance/angst/drama stories in her notebook.

"Oh Auzure, I would never want you to be unhappy!' said Auna, 'But I love you! I really do! What do I have that Areau does not?'

'Stop it,' said Auzure, his face devoid of any emotion, 'you are not the one I love. Please, get away from me.' His words slashed Auna's heart. He left.

'No, Auzure-'

Meanwhile, Lyn had arrived in the small village that had once been her hometown.

'It's nice to be home,' she thought to herself. But she could still not ignore the cause of her trip. 'Jin…are you still here?'

Lyn found the ocean well enough. It was almost right beside her former home. Before Sapporo had died. She looked around and breathed in the salty air. 'Oh Jin, I've missed you so long,' she said, looking around, just hoping for a trace of him. Then she heard a distant voice, ever so familiar…

'At the story the wind told me,

My hear became aghast…

The wind carrying my story

I hear your voice.

Moonlight reflecting

On the mirror I carry,

It shows the star filled tears

That I cannot conceal.

Hugged by the summer air,

The wind stops

And a voice

Whispers in my ear.

In a dream,

In a daze,

I stumble through

To try and find you.'

'Jin,' Lyn's heart fluttered with joy. There he stood, her long lost childhood love… Jin turned around. His expression showed surprise.

'It can't be,' he said, 'L-Lyn?"

'Jin!' Lyn ran through the sandy shores of the ocean, the very place she and Jin had met, right into his arms. 'I missed you so much!' she cried. However, the joyful reunion was not to last, for a sharp voice cut through the air.

'Jin!' The couple ended their embrace.

'Yurina?' Jin exclaimed –'

Wrote Lacus. "Oh," she sighed, "What's Yurina's character like? Think! Imagine! Think!"

"You should really do that, Lacus, because it would be a shame if you didn't continue it," said a voice under her.

Lacus almost screamed.

"W-who…"

"Well actually, I'm a big fan of romance, and I couldn't help overhearing…" Lacus finally figured out that the voice belonged to the person who slept in the bunk bellow her.

"Stellar?" she heard creaking sounds, and the younger girl climbed on to her bed.

"You always mumble what you write at night, so basically, I've heard the whole story from the beginning to now." Stellar blinked at her innocently, but Lacus still felt horribly embarrassed. She had included kissing scenes in the story! Her face went red and she banged her forehead repeatedly on her bunk. "Stop!"

"Oh I'm sorry Stellar, I'm just so embarrassed!" Lacus's face went back to its normal color. "But tell me…how is it?"

Stellar smiled at her. "It's wonderful! It's one of the most romantic stories I've ever read. A beautiful mix of angst and romance and drama! In fact, I would call it the best Dromangst novel of the year!" she said dramatically.

"Uhh…Stellar, what's Dromangst?"

"A word I made up. A mix of Drama, Romance, and Angst!"

"That's wonderful! Stellar, you're a genius!"

"Why thank you, now shall we work on your romance?"

"Yes! And I hope your arm is alright."

"It is, thanks to Shinn."

And another friendship begins…


Today I am depressed. Second chappie of Superstar is long done, but no one is reviewing! Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Please review! The goal till next chapter is eighty reviews! 80!


Preview of next chapter…

"My turn to ask a question!" yelled Dearka. "Okie dokie… who to pick? I know! Miriallia! Truth or Dare?"

"Hmm… tru- I mean, dare!"

"Okay, I dare you to kiss me!"

Everyone laughed. Miriallia was going to hit Dearka but Yzak did that first.

"Ask another question you dope!" Yzak yelled.

"Fine, fine!" sighed Dearka. "Alright, Cagalli, truth or dare?"

"Truth!" Cagalli said. Since Dearka wasn't all that good at thinking, she was sure it couldn't be bad.

"Who do you have a crush on?"

"No one!" she protested.

"Wrong," Shiho suddenly said, surprising everyone. "The ouiji board says that you are in love with…"
